Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by IPG Photonics Corporation, or "IPG", "its" or the "Company". Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The consolidated financial statements include the Company's accounts and those of its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . In the opinion of the Company's management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results reported in these consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"). The standard is intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The impact that the standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements will depend upon certain criteria including the timing of the exercise and release of equity instruments, the value realized upon exercise or release of equity instruments and the fair value of the equity instruments when they were granted. The excess tax benefit from the exercise of equity instruments was $2,844 and $5,822 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-02"). The standard requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have and does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("ASU 2016-01"). The standard addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have and does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption. In November 2015, the FASB issued amended guidance that clarifies that in a classified statement of financial position, an entity shall classify deferred tax liabilities and assets as non-current amounts. The new guidance supersedes ASC 740-10-45-5 which required the deferred tax assets and liabilities for a particular tax jurisdiction be allocated between current and non-current deferred tax assets for that tax jurisdiction on the basis of the financial accounting classification of the related asset or liability for which the temporary difference existed. The new standard will become effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017. The Company has determined that the standard will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Current deferred tax assets at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $24,620 and $20,346 , respectively. Current deferred tax liabilities at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $4,047 and $3,190 , respectively. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 ("ASU 2014-09") "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in "Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)", and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. As currently issued and amended, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, though early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, the computation of diluted weighted average common shares excludes common stock equivalents of 80,600 and 40,600 shares which includes RSUs of 20,900 and 24,200 and PSUs of 3,300 and 9,400 , respectively. These common stock equivalents are excluded because the effect of including them would be anti-dilutive. On July 28, 2016, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “Program”) to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued upon exercise or release under the Company's various employee and director equity compensation and employee stock purchase plans. Under the Program, the Company's management is authorized to repurchase shares of common stock in an amount not to exceed the number of shares issued to employees and directors under its various employee and director equity compensation and employee stock purchase plans from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2017. The Program limits aggregate share repurchases to no more than $100,000 over a period ending June 30, 2018. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , the Company repurchased 41,800 shares of its common stock with an average price of $83.33 per share in the open market. The impact on the reduction of weighted average shares for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 6,090 shares and 2,044 shares, respectively. There were no previous Program repurchases made by the Company prior to these periods.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Derivative instruments – The Company's primary market exposures are to interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The Company uses certain derivative financial instruments to help manage these exposures. The Company executes these instruments with financial institutions it judges to be credit-worthy. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has no derivatives that are not accounted for as a hedging instrument.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company's financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, auction rate securities, accounts payable, drawings on revolving lines of credit, long-term debt, contingent purchase consideration and interest rate swaps. The valuation techniques used to measure fair value are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, drawings on revolving lines of credit, the long-term notes and interest rate swaps are considered reasonable estimates of their fair market value, due to the short maturity of most of these instruments or as a result of the competitive market interest rates, which have been negotiated. The following table presents information about the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value: Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2016 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Cash equivalents $ 367,005 $ 367,005 $ — $ — Short-term investments 126,860 126,860 — — Interest rate swap 164 — 164 — Auction rate securities 1,142 — — 1,142 Total assets $ 495,171 $ 493,865 $ 164 $ 1,142 Liabilities Long-term notes $ 41,620 $ — $ 41,620 $ — Contingent purchase consideration 21 — — 21 Total liabilities $ 41,641 $ — $ 41,620 $ 21 Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2015 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Cash equivalents $ 214,232 $ 214,232 $ — $ — Short-term investments 106,375 106,375 — — Auction rate securities 1,136 — — 1,136 Total assets $ 321,743 $ 320,607 $ — $ 1,136 Liabilities Long-term notes $ 19,667 $ 19,667 $ — $ — Contingent purchase consideration 20 — — 20 Total liabilities $ 19,687 $ 19,667 $ — $ 20 Short-term investments are recorded at book value. Unrealized gains or losses are not recorded since these investments are considered held-to-maturity and consist of liquid investments including U.S. government and government agency notes, corporate notes, commercial paper and certificates of deposit with original maturities of greater than three months but less than one year. The fair value of these investments as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $126,860 and $106,375 , respectively, which represents an unrealized loss of $110 and $209 , respectively, as compared to the book value recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the same periods. The fair value of the auction rate securities considered prices observed in inactive secondary markets for the securities held by the Company. The fair value of accrued contingent purchase consideration incurred was determined using an income approach at the acquisition date and reporting date. That approach is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market. Key assumptions include assessing the probability of meeting certain milestones required to earn the contingent purchase consideration.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"). The standard is intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The impact that the standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements will depend upon certain criteria including the timing of the exercise and release of equity instruments, the value realized upon exercise or release of equity instruments and the fair value of the equity instruments when they were granted. The excess tax benefit from the exercise of equity instruments was $2,844 and $5,822 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-02"). The standard requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have and does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("ASU 2016-01"). The standard addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have and does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption. In November 2015, the FASB issued amended guidance that clarifies that in a classified statement of financial position, an entity shall classify deferred tax liabilities and assets as non-current amounts. The new guidance supersedes ASC 740-10-45-5 which required the deferred tax assets and liabilities for a particular tax jurisdiction be allocated between current and non-current deferred tax assets for that tax jurisdiction on the basis of the financial accounting classification of the related asset or liability for which the temporary difference existed. The new standard will become effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017. The Company has determined that the standard will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Current deferred tax assets at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $24,620 and $20,346 , respectively. Current deferred tax liabilities at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $4,047 and $3,190 , respectively. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 ("ASU 2014-09") "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in "Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)", and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. As currently issued and amended, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, though early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
